CLS550 wont start, dash instruments flash then turn off including headlights
Am currently stranded as my car just went out. The only thing i saw on the cluster was SRS malfunction service required. When i try to turn on the car it cranks a tiny bit then just stops, the whole dash flashes up over and over not as it’s supposed to including the internal lights and everything else and the clock completely spins around and resets it’s time. The brake is also pushed all the way down and won’t move after trying to start the car. All other electrical stuff in the car still works except the interior lights & car horn when locking. It sounds as if there was a liquid flushing noise but it could be just the clock turning. The other day it almost did this to me but cranked through. I have a suspension issue and can still hear the compressor running as well. I wasn’t driving the car while this happened, i came to this spot and turned off my car for about 30+ mins and when i wanted to leave is when it happened.

Solution? Battery?
Fellow CLS 550 owner here. It’s got to be your battery. That has to be the only thing that would make all those weird things happen at the same time. I only have the SRS Malfunction Service Required message, no codes, starts and runs fine, battery and fuses are good. So now I’m guessing I need a new seatbelt buckle. From what I read in another long thread was most of the time the fix was either a new battery or a new seat belt buckle. What was your solution?
